Technical details of spot

Spot functioning

Large car park directly in front of the spot (may have works). In summer the kite zone is on the right side of the beach — clearly marked, respect it. Launch at mid to low tide — at high tide with large coefficients the beach is very small. The Fromentine passage generates strong tidal currents — always check tide and plan your return. Self-organised outside the marked zone in off-season.

On the water

Flat to slightly choppy water, influenced by the Fromentine tidal passage. Strong tidal currents — always plan sessions relative to tide. Sandy bottom. Beach very wide at low tide, very narrow at high tide with large coefficients. South to northwest winds give cross to cross-onshore conditions.

Required level

Beginner

Spot opening date

Open all year round

Open year-round. In summer: kite zone delimited on the right of the beach — must be respected. At high tide with large tidal coefficients, the beach is very small for rigging — avoid these combinations. Off-season: free access.

Wind specificities

South to northwest winds cover a very wide window — this spot works in almost all Atlantic conditions. The beach faces northwest giving good exposure. Summer thermal cycle is consistent. The Fromentine passage can create local wind effects when tidal currents are strong.
